Super-cushioned wedge sole
Introducing our brand new for spring 2024 super-cushioned wedge sole. Not only is the sole extra-deep, it’s extra-lightweight too and grippy to ensure you stay sure-of-foot.

The fashionable wedge sole is flared to offer new levels of support and stability while you keep active.
With a 2" wedge heel with 1 ¼" drop these styles lengthen the legs while hiding the depth of the shoe and providing all important cushioning.

Wear with cropped leggings for active wear, cropped jeans for casual or even a ¾ play suit for laid-back smarter vibes.

Recommended Styles:
Sleek white trainers with pastel accents like Bat; a cute classic trainer in white with fuchsia or light blue trim, with almond toe shape, lace-up fastening for a secure fit and outside zip for easy access.

A classic trainer style that fits this bill is super-popular Diss; Incredibly comfortable and easy to wear, in sporty leather and textile panels that allow air to flow around the foot for greater comfort in hot weather.

A really great trainer that looks modern and provides wonderful comfort. I have 2 of the colour versions as it was such good value in the sale.

Breathable mesh trainers for a sporty chic look like wedge soled Panther; with square toe, strap fastening and seam-free stretch toe box that moulds to the shape of your foot for an extremely comfortable wear. The stable wedge sole is filled with millions of tiny air bubbles for extra-cushioning as you walk.

I love these shoes. Light and comfortable, they are easy to get on and look cool and stylish with everything.

*Please note that our trainers are leisure shoes, not specialist shoes designed for sport.

For those days when you want to add a touch of elegance to your ensemble without compromising comfort, ballerina pumps and loafers are a go-to choice. Our wide and extra-wide-fitting options allow your feet to breathe and move freely, whilst featuring elasticated top-lines for improved fit.

Whether you're heading to brunch, a garden party, or a casual day out, these timeless shoes effortlessly bridge the gap between sophistication and ease.

Recommended Styles:
Classic ballerinas for versatility like Tetbury; with elegant, ruched toe design, demonstrate that even extra-wide shoes, like our 6V(6E-8E) width fitting can be as cute and dainty as you like.

Such a comfy but smart shoe, these are my go-to for work and when I need to look smart. I have these in various colours and these are a repeat purchase.

Floral patterned loafers like Partridge for a springtime twist; This slip-on loafer is ideal for everyday wear or to dress up for an occasion, and features an elasticated topline for improved fit and comfort.

Metallic accents for a touch of glamour, like timeless loafer Bingham; Smart enough for any occasion, yet comfortable enough to mean you don’t have to worry about your feet!

Casual outings demand shoes that are both laid-back and stylish.

Wide-fitting casual shoes are perfect for strolling through parks, exploring local markets, or enjoying a picnic in the sun. Look for lightweight materials and air-bubble soles to ensure comfort all day long.

Recommended Styles:
Mary-Janes in trendy textiles bring a cute spring feel with styles like Newt: a square-toed everyday shoe with stretch toe-box for comfort and diagonal adjustable strap for a playful feel that’s bunion, arthritis and diabetes-friendly.

Mary-Janes in soft pastel leather shades, like Monkey, present an adorable fashion choice that transitions effortlessly from playful leisure wear to a sophisticated office look.

Comfortable loafers with pastel finishes like Crane; a casual loafer style designed for all day wear, built on our new wedge sole and featuring stretch panels to accommodate wide feet or bunions, with twin elasticated gusset for easy access and improved fit.

Bold colours add a vibrant and dynamic style to your wardrobe, injecting energy and personality into your daily ensemble, while also serving as a stylish expression of confidence and individuality. Styles like Colby can be paired as effortlessly with bold playsuits as with jeans.

As you welcome in the spring season, remember that fashion should be a celebration of self-expression, and your footwear is no different.
